So I am returning to the states June 10th. Me and my English buddy came up with a really interesting idea. My Dad's friend is the CEO of Kinko copies so I get extreme discounts. We are thinking about doing a mass mailing of "Your Beliefs Regarding Evolution" to at least 10,000 addresses in America.

First off the envelopes must look legit (with the plastic window showing address etc etc.) No junkmail type of shit.

Secondly we need a good Acronym, I know you guys can give me a good one!

Thirdly we have to have a legit foundation for these to be mailed back to. Easily done via the chamber of commerce.

Some may ask "Why the fuck are you doing this?"
I say "Because it might yield interesting results"

This seems like a pain in the ol' butt. What are you mailing exactly, a survey type shit?

Or are you gonna do a big multiple choice & then tally up answers like those "Which one of Matthew McConaughey's abs are you?" quizzes from girl mags?

The Midget versus the Digits

His first overt act began in Dayton the following Saturday. He was in Norton's Emporium, a glorified 5 & 10 ¢ store, when he saw the sign:

NO SALESPERSON
MAY LEAVE THE FLOOR
WITHOUT THE AUTHORIZATION
OF A SUPERIOR.
THE MGT.

What! he thought, are the poor girls supposed to pee in their panties if they can't find a superior? Years of school came back to him ("Please, may I leave the room, sir?") and rituals which had appeared nonsensical suddenly made sense in a sinister way. They were trying to reduce us all to predictable units, robots. Hah!...The following Wednesday, the Midget was back at Norton's and hiding in a coffee urn when the staff left and locked up. A few moments later, the sign was down and a subtly different one was in its place:

NO SALESPERSON
MAY LEAVE THE FLOOR
OR GO TO THE DOOR
WITHOUT THE AUTHORIZATION
OF A SUPERIOR.
THE MGT.

He came back several times in the next few weeks, and the sign remained. It was as he suspected: in a rigid hierarchy, nobody questions orders that seem to come from above, and those at the very top are so isolated from the actual work situation that they never see what is going on below. It was the chains of communication, not the means of production, that determined a social process.. Nothing signed "THE MGT." would ever be challenged; the Midget could always pass himself off as the Management.

Oh my, this looks so foolish now. I think I need some sort of lock on my computer once I become intoxicated. Now there is an idea that might actually work.

Please lock this thread.

Were you merely interested in learning Americans' ideas about human evolution? Other people have done that work already! Just look it up.
